Sparc Systems unveils Hestia Dough Checkweigher
Sparc Systems is rolling out the Hestia Dough Checkweigher which it said can weigh dough for loaves, buns and baps with an accuracy of 0.5g.
Designed for industrial bakers, the kit can inspect up to 12,000 pieces of dough per hour. Connected to an automated upstream dough dividing line, if a piece of dough is under or overweight by as little as 0.5g, the checkweigher automatically rejects it. Simultaneously, the machine’s fibre optic controlled software communicates back to the dough divider in real time to adjust the position of the blade for the next batch. Typically inspecting 400g and 800g portions, Sparc engineers can pre-programme up to 500 different product codes, ranging from 150g to six kilograms.
